Angelo Salemi

Born in 1970 in Mazzarino, Sicily, sculptor Angelo Salemi’s roots in his uncle’s smithy were the seed for his passion for art to grow. After years of experimentation with various mediums, from sculpture to painting, he opened his own workshop in 1997 in his hometown, where he still lives and works today. Throughout his 25-year-long career, Salemi has made the combination of classic and modern references the cornerstone of his aesthetic. His pieces have earned him acclaim both in Italy and abroad, and are featured in famous cities, such as two busts in Beijing and Hangzhou.
